I'me really feeling my old PCC mod mojo coming back a bit now,a strong top 10 personal fave track like Mid Ohio made for a near perfect combo i thought,2nd row quallies is always happy days in my book,although i squiffed up a lap near the end of the session that might have challenged the front row....a very good launch from the lights almost getting the hop on a sleeping J. Basford (j/k m8
),i tried to snake a way around but failed,it only resulted in scrubbing a bit speed away allowing cheeky chops Nilsson to have me inside for T1 >;/,all nicely through T1 clean and sound when we all arrived which was nice,a good raging little pack charging down to T2 and........i dont know really,my race ended there with a serious smack in the back end putting me just over the Ohio state line in to Kentucky,the replay shows a standard mental banzai glory attempt going badly wrong,very sad to see in a club event,recovered near the back but still enjoyed some racing in the remains of my Porsche,one late bit of mess with Adz having a monster tank slapper coming out the final turn leaving me very little time or room to avoid,almost did,but just clipped and was very close to going on me roof,the clip helped Adz spin the other way from where he was heading
,still soz m8,but not a lot of options for meh.
Done much better in qually for race 2 but sadly so did all those i intended to be racing so 4th place,away good from the lights again and end up in the middle of a 3 wide affair with Jack and Anders around T1,and ofcourse all without a rub of paint(blissfull),again a close raging pack steaming down to my now dreaded T2,i keep myself on the inside as tight as my cold tyres would allow me,again its 3 wide with Jack and Anders living la vida loca on my outside!! o.O,despite me keeping a tighter exit and good run,somehow Jack manages a better exit run down to T3(mental!),i slot in behind and i am happy and releived to see its Anders following so i know no banzai'ness
,i feel strangely comfortable following Jack put the serious hussle on Chris who must have just smoked everyone from the lights and was in 1st,Jack put a nice big ballsy pass on him at T1 and kept it tight and clean,he had to cover it a bit at T2 and then made the deal stick for the lead,i was now planning on following Chris for a lap or 2 and see where i might make a move before Jack clears off ahead,we all arrive at "that" T2 quite close and Chris barely brushes the back corner of Jacks car enough to make it slowly lose traction and go around on him,Chris must have backed off as well as he went around and off in the same manner,thankfully both Porsche fat arse ends went off towards the infield so not difficult to avoid with a slight change of line,so thats me in the lead 0.o.
Look in my mirror and yes its him again,Anders!!,close!....and getting closer,my saviour in the lap is the "Madness" section especially the "hump" finale' of it,and Anders really had problems at that turn which allowed me to breathe a bit at the end of the lap(phew),sadly Anders really had a big problem there not long in to his "Stalking Lenno" campaign this time which very much let me off the hook,built my gap up to about 7secs and counted off the laps to the finish,a couple of very strange laps with on particular back marker who ironically turned out to be my banzai T2 bloke from race one,you really need to tell me what it is ive done to your or said man as this could almost be considered personal by some (thankfully not me,no hard feelings and we move on)
.
Grats Kev and podiums R1 and good job Jack and Jeff race 2,enjoyed watching both replays of tonights racing.
Big thanks Lee and Adz &
